Hello: I am switching from CNS to Refmac for refinement, and given that my FORTRAN classes were such a long time ago, I am having problems with the conversion. This is the format I give ccp4 (skipped the first 7 lines) '(6X,3F5.0,6X,F10.3,6X,F10.3,6X,F9.3/26X,F10.3,6X,F9.0)' and here is the beginning of my .cv NREFlection= 20349 ANOMalous=FALSe { equiv. to HERMitian=TRUE} DECLare NAME=IOBS DOMAin=RECIprocal TYPE=REAL END DECLare NAME=SIGI DOMAin=RECIprocal TYPE=REAL END DECLare NAME=FOBS DOMAin=RECIprocal TYPE=REAL END DECLare NAME=SIGMA DOMAin=RECIprocal TYPE=REAL END DECLare NAME=TEST DOMAin=RECIprocal TYPE=INTE END INDE 0 0 6 IOBS= 0.100 SIGI= 0.100 FOBS= 0.320 SIGMA= 0.320 TEST= 0 INDE 0 0 15 IOBS= 1317.300 SIGI= 92.7 The error I get is: List reflection: 0 Symmetry to be listed >>>>>> CCP4 library signal mtz:MTZ header is corrupted: missing tokens in SYMINF record (Error) raised in MtzGet <<<<<< Error: failed to open file for read! *** Error Error reading in HKLIN MTZDUMP: *** Program Terminated Times: User: 0.0s System: 0.0s Elapsed: 0:00 </pre> </html> *************************************************************************** * Information from CCP4Interface script *************************************************************************** The program run with command: /gware/ccp4-6.1.2/linux/bin/mtzdump HKLIN "/scratch/deacona/ALS_Aug09_290_1_mtz.tmp" has failed with error message How can I fix this? Also, I just realized that I am running also into the problem that in CNS the test set has Rflag of 1 and in ccp4 it is 0. Is there a way to go around this? I realize that you can also assign 0 to the test set in CNS, but the .cv file has already been made, and I do not know how to easily edit it to convert the Rfreeflag to the ccp4 convention. I have also tried using the CUT pl script, but it seems it does not work (I did make it into an executable) Thanks a lot, Alex -- Alexandra M.
